I’ve been writing songs and poems since I was about 15, beginning with poems a short while prior to that. Shortly after I started writing songs I stopped writing poems. A lot of what I have written is lost (that might be a good thing), but my intention is to put what I can here on this web site.
Please note that all my writings are copyright the various years of origination, both words and music and are to be considered unpublished works. I recently joined BMI and have taken various steps over the years to register copyrights with the library of congress. Please don’t rip off any material, it’s why I don’t post on YouTube or Facebook because, by doing so, they acquire a royalty free right to do as they please with the material and I don’t want to provide them that privilege.
That said, if you want to use something, ask. You need permission in writing.
